Dimple Creation Procedure

Natural dimples usually occur on both sides of the face, and are generally present only when the face is animated, often to an unnaturally exaggerated degree. A natural dimple is usually formed when there is a small defect in the cheek musculature (most often the buccinator muscle). The skin overlying this small defect is stuck down to the underlying connective tissue when the muscle contracts with smiling; it splits apart and allows the overlying skin to indent.

It is possible to create a dimple or dimples by a minor plastic surgical procedure under local anaesthetic as an office procedure as a day case. As such, there is a huge demand now for surgically created dimples both from women and men. The results of this cosmetic procedure are usually permanent. The location and size of the dimple is a personal choice, which will be further evaluated with Dr Milan doshi in your consultation.
